Polo: Euros 2012 discussion

Euros allocation up!

So this is a very important message I guess.

Here is the slots distribution for the EHBPC 2012.

How did we choose it. We sent a survey to 20 people in Europe from the different scenes. I was asking people to tell us, the number of teams from their country that would qualify for the TOP 32 and TOP 16. We ask them to give the name and line up for each of those teams. Then we checked at the results of the last tournaments this season and main events last years as WHBPC, EHBPC, and GM2.

Regarding to the result of the survey we will have 51 teams in the TOP 32 and 20 in the TOP 16 this year, France not include. ;o)

I tell you that beacause everybody is, regarding to this, overevaluating the level of his scene mainly for emotional and friendly reason. So don't be surprised if you have less spots than expected we were limited to 48 slots for the Euros and 20 slots for the wildcard tournament.

France : 8 (3 slots in the wildcard tournament)
UK + Ireland : 7 (3)
Germany : 7 (3)
Switzerland : 6 (2)
Spain + Portugal : 5 (2)
Italy : 5 (2)
Beneligue : 3 (1)
Poland/Austria/Croatia/Hungary/Czech Rep : 3 (3)
Wild Card : 3

For Organising, because people working on it want to be part of it => Paris : 1 (Rouen 1)
